RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:1631 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE netcf bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:50:45 UTC

Description Daniel Berrangé 2010-12-10 13:15:44 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #662056 +++

Description of problem:
While netcf does use augeas, libxml and libxslt, this usage is a private internal implementation detail which does not leak out into the public API. There is no need for applications to have augeas, libxml or libxslt header files present to build against netcf. Thus these libraries should not be listed in the 'Requires' of the pkg-config file for netcf. Doing so causes unnecessary '-laugeas' etc lines to be added to apps/libraries building against netcf.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
netcf-0.1.7-1.fc13.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build an app against netcf
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Observe that the compile & link line includes

  -I/usr/include/libxml2   -lnetcf -laugeas -lxslt -lz -lm -lxml2  


Expected results:

Only contains

  -lnetcf

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 01:53:04 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 3 Laine Stump 2011-05-18 17:37:53 UTC 
A fix has been committed to upstream netcf, and will be included when RHEL
netcf is rebased (see Bug 705061):

commit 500a075d939c06849bdfea372ff94f4e133c1f27
Author: Laine Stump <laine>
Date:   Thu May 12 09:20:08 2011 -0400

    Remove unnecessary Requires: from netcf's pkgconfig file
    
    This is in response to:
    
       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662056 (Fedora)
       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662057 (RHEL)
    
    netcf.pc.in previously contained Requires for augeas, libxml, and
    libxslt, but this was unnecessary - the pkgconfig file lists things
    required to build an application that uses the netcf library, but
    since netcf's use of those packages is purely internal/private, none
    of those packages are actually required in order to build.
    
    The solution is to remove everything from the Requires: line.
Comment 4 Laine Stump 2011-06-14 21:37:11 UTC 
A fix for this bug is included in netcf-0.1.8-1.el6. A build is available here:
